Biofilm, an antimicrobial-resistant organism, can develop on surgical
instruments and scopes as a result of constant exposure to wet and dry
phases during usage and reprocessing. Residual biofilm left on an
instrument or scope after cleaning is impervious to high level disinfectants and can lead to infection of patients.
Once biofilm is formed, getting rid of it is almost impossible. Biofilm
anchors itself to a surface creating a protective environment for
microorganisms to grow.
RUHOF'S BIO-CLEAN TECHNOLOGY is a unique multi-tiered enzymatic
detergent designed to target the insoluble extracellular polymeric layer
that encases the bacteria in biofilm. Dissolving this polysaccharide
layer exposes the bacteria allowing for the complete elimination of
all bioburden and biofilm on semi-critical and critical medical devices
by high level disinfectants or liquid chemical sterilants.
• The only enzymatic detergent on the market clinically tested to
pass ISO 15883 Annex F*.
